The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for panoramic visualization on hand held and similar devices. The hand held devices consist of at least a camera sensor, a CPU and a display module, and often consisting of one or more additional sensor such as accelerometer, magnetometer or gyroscope. The main features of the system consist of a sub-system for displaying on-line augmented reality content, building in the same time a panoramic view, a sub-system for off-line displaying of panoramic augmented reality content and a user trigger to commute between the two modes. By alternating the on-line and off-line phases, the system provides ease of use as well as reduced energy consumption to the device. The system does not attempt to build a mosaic panoramic image. It temporary stores the acquired video frames together with their relative position with respect to each other.
